How do I get the bleeding edge Chromium?

The following versions of Chromium are available at the moment :

• Chromium Stable PPA (13.0.782.218)
• Chromium Beta PPA (14.0.835.126)
• Ubuntu Repo (14.0.835.202)
• Chromium Dev PPA (15.0.865.0)
• Chromium Daily PPA (15.0.871.0)

All packages for Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot.

However, as per Chromium Developer Calendar, the following versions are released for Linux:

linux   dev     16.0.904.0
linux   beta    15.0.874.92
linux   stable  14.0.835.202

Is there any way I can get the latest developer build running on my system (without compiling it)

Solution 1:

Alternative Chromium PPA

The PPAs above are not being updated at all. Alex Shkop has taken up responsibility to keep a better, more updated PPA set for chromium. They include:

• Chromium Stable (currently at 21.0.1180.79)
• Chromium Dev (currently at 23.0.1246)

Note: The above PPAs are only for 12.04 at the moment.

Bleeding Edge Chromium Binaries

You can download the continuous builds from here. This will get you the last bleeding-edge chromium revision which passed the test suite.

To install them, just extract the zip file somewhere (I use ~/apps/) and run the chrome binary inside.

Solution 2:

Sorry, you found the right place to get them, but they were just not up to date, the Chromium daily PPA has been restarted.
